Catherine and Frederick

 

A Grimm’s Tale

            indeed

permeated in

                        grains of truth.

Not a Cinderella story

            of severed toes

filed heels

                        or lichen to peck from agate ashes.

No reels of cheese

            chasing after one another

down hills of hop flowers

                        and barred thicket bushes.

Only an over flowing

            tap

of hefeweizen Krankenwagen

                        beer.

Catherine

            Frederick,

we’ll Burn Em’

                        to the fucking ground.
